Added some code files to support the use of 120Hz models and memory mode display.
I tested the most basic display functions, think it's working fine, and there are lots more functions that santec slms support that haven't been used, but in slmsuite, I think only the most basic functions are needed. This is working fine for me in the wavefront_calibration example, and I think it's going to work fine in other examples also.
Hope this can be of help for you guys and this great project, and hope I didn't write my codes too slow and keep you waiting for too long.

Thanks for your work on this!

As a first major comment: there needs to be a single unified santec.py. Code has to be maintained, and repeated code is a bane to a maintainer (if you want to change/debug one section, you have to track down all the copies!). There is a lot of repeated code between these three versions (original, 120Hz, memory), so it is better to have one combined file which has if else statements to handle differences. For instance:

• 120 Hz should be handled as a flag is120hz= to the constructor __init__(). That way, the user can decide whether they want to initialize a 120 Hz SLM. (It would be nicer if it could autodetect, which is why I was asking about this in the different thread).
• Memory mode should ideally be accessed as an option to the original class. After all, it is possible to use the hardware in DVI mode, then switch to memory mode, so it doesn't make sense to need to reconstruct the object.

I think the new headers you have added are supporting newer Santec .dlls? That's a separate issue from memory mode. It seems that the main change is there a few new functions, but everything else is the same? We will need to parse through the new functions and decide if we want to support them.

Hi Ian!
Sorry for replying late, been on vacation and then fall ill for the last two weeks, just came back to work
The techs at Santec tells me recently that there is actually a way to distinguish 60 and 120Hz models, which is the last three digits in the display name you get from SDK, if it's 001, then 60Hz, if it's 101, then 120Hz, guess we can make a code to automatically distinguish between the two models with this information

For the memory mode thing, it can work with the original slm_win_ file, but the one in slmsuite is modified, I don't know if we can change it or something? For my own use, I can just replace it, but that's just a thing for temporary use, and of course not good for code continuity, maybe you can identify the changed parts in the slm_win file and find a way to make it compatible with the official one?
Again, lots of thanks for this great work!

Best
Kaller

Making a new backwards compatible slm_win_ is ideal (however is best, whether replacing with the new slm_win_ or merging). I will see if I can take a look at this (and also add a display name check) within a week.
